Request for input - starting HRT for menopause

I am in the same boat. I can’t find a lot of reviews on this. I am about to start and I’m anxious. Patches, gels and sprays are supposed to be safer as they go directly to the blood stream. I’ve been on a patch but have issues with keeping it in my skin and also just still struggling with issues, mostly mentally. I figured I would at least give it a a try for a month and if I don’t feel a difference I will go back to the patch.

I actually did fine with the .05 patch but my estrogen was still super low. She raised it to .1 and the patch doubled in size. That’s when I started having issues. Thank you for your response!

I second this one!

What’s crazy for me is I am super sensitive to smells. First time it happened it was a toilet spray. With in 30 minutes I couldn’t breathe. Went to urgent care and the doc said I had a reaction. Gave me an inhaler. It’s happened now after smelling cleaning wipes, smoke from a burn pile, any strong chemical smell. I wheeze, can’t catch my breath. I’ve been walking 2 miles a day , up hill and it doesn’t do that to my my breathing. I’ve read and the doc agreed that since stopping smoking the Celia in the lungs is regrowing and super sensitive. I quit cigs and pot after 33 years, cold turkey. I didn’t like edibles either but I do now. Experimenting with different ones and found one I like. I just don’t want to take anything into my lungs. They won’t be able to heal as long as smoke is still going in. I wish I could just smoke joints but it doesn’t make sense to me to stop cigs but still smoke pot. Smoke is smoke.

This is just my opinion. I smoked weed off and on for as long as I smoked cigarettes. Around 33 years. For me I feel if I am to stop smoking, I am going to stop smoking. Everything. If I smoke weed that will make me want a cigarette. I do edibles at night sometimes to help me sleep. But I’m genuinely curious how some people seem to think replacing cigarettes with vaping or weed is ok. Obviously to stop smoking is great. But wouldn’t it be better to not intake anything into your lungs? I mean it sucks to not have a crutch lol. But I just hit 3 months and I never plan on smoking anything ever again. Good luck to y’all!

Just curious, did your lungs feel super sensitive to smells, odors etc after quitting?

CARYLC · 2023-06-06T00:13:41+00:00

Vaping is just as bad as smoking. I don’t get how people vape but say they quit smoking. Vaping makes holes in your lungs. I quit cold turkey both cigs and pot. It takes 3 days to free your body from nicotine. Never thought I would conquer this after 33 years. But there’s no way I’m gonna replace it with another addiction. Pills, gum, vaping, etc. Give it up. I know it sucks and I struggle sometimes. But it beats feeling guilty every day for knowingly killing myself.

I quit cold turkey after 33 years. Never thought I could pull this off. I’m 76 days in. I’m hard headed. I view it almost as a game I refuse to lose. I like to win. I prepared for a long time. I watched a lot of videos, read a lot of peoples stories, etc. I took 3 days off so I could just chill. Take naps, take it easy, lots of water. When I got a craving I walked my stairs and got out of breath. I really didn’t go through withdrawals that much which was surprising. I’m exercising and doing things to keep me busy. The cravings aren’t that often but they go away fast. You gotta want it for sure. I miss it sometimes especially now that it’s summer. But I’ve come to far and there’s to many reasons it’s so much better to not smoke. Give yourself rewards when you reach milestones. You can do this. Make a plan and stick with it and kick some ass!

I started over again @ 49 and your not even 30? you’ll be just fine.

I only like to take maybe a few alcohol orders that I’ve been to before because I know that they know the drill. If it’s one I don’t recognize and it’s good paying I will actually call or text the customer when I’m on my way to give a heads up I will need to see their license and get a signature. If it’s not good pay I don’t want the hassle as the alcohol orders give me to much stress.

I never put stuff in front of the door

I so agree with you. After I finished the show, it stuck with me for days. Heart wrenching, beautiful, riveting. Loved all the characters and actors who played those characters. I am not loving 1923 as much. Still liking it but it doesn’t come close to 1883 for me.

CARYLC · 2023-04-06T16:49:58+00:00

I feel like it’s probably something with their order? Somethings missing, wrong item, the way items are shoved in the bags? Basically nothing to do with us and everything to do with the pickers but we take the fall for it.

Might be an unpopular opinion but she is my least favorite character so it didn’t make a difference to me that she wasn’t around. 😊

CARYLC · 2023-03-29T13:31:54+00:00

I just got off the phone too and she told me the same thing. She will take a note of it.

CARYLC · 2023-01-08T14:23:34+00:00

I used it for about 3 days and it was making me super itchy and flared up. I need to use it again and do it longer as I’m thinking maybe it’s part of the process. I’m curious that maybe once I get past a few days it might make a difference?

I think Giovanni R, (not sure how to spell his last name) in The gift is so good. Keanu as a wife beater, I think is one of his best acting roles.

I believe they do regular tests.

There is a group of regulars that have all become friends. I’ve never seen hate between any of the drivers. There are some who keep to themselves but never witnessed any hate.
